Surname: Cosford

The Cosford surname comes to me via my grandpa Rosmer Kerr. His ninth great-grandfather was:
  • George Cosford, whose wife was Margaret Wills. George and Margaret were my eleventh great-grandparents.
  • Alice Cosford, christened 10 May 1573 at Watford, Northamptonshire, England. She married Thomas Rogers on 24 October 1597 at Watford. Alice and Thomas were my tenth great-grandparents.
To date, I haven't done any additional research on this line and I have no documentation.
